You could use some sort of brown for the non-playable areas - that might look more natural than the grey.
The new minimap is fantastic - well done on that (and deserved props to RJ for sharing his wisdom).

If oaktown doesn't do it, I'll happily plug in coordinates et al when the time is right

Oh I'm sure I'll be harassing someone about it, as I know nothing of obtaining said coordinates =P

The poll refuses to work for me. It keeps inserting a shit ton of random options and is infuriating me. Express your opinions in the thread, please!
Changelog:
-DRASTICALLY changed the ocean. Fill layer with a couple different grunge layers. I like the direction it's moving, though feel it now presents a couple issues:*It seems a bit too darkish in comparison to the land, though loses its texture when made lighter (different texture, maybe make it darker?)
-Added a WHOLE NEW mini-map land thing, and it looks a TON better (much, much thanks go out to RJ for the tutorial on this one ).
*The gray of the outside area (Mexico, South America) doesn't fit too well. Honestly, this is probably the same problem that I have with the mainland color.
I just made these two bigger changes for now, because I REALLY want people to discuss the oceans. If anyone can think of how to make them work in this direction it would be great. I may dodge out a lighter ouline around the land (like with the previous ocean) but don't want to until we have some opinions on directions to move/can decide on something.
Thanks! Glad to see we're moving along again!!!!
1. Grunge
2. Pattern

Also, the sea connector lines look like islands at first glance. I'd suggest you go with something flat for connector lines.

WAIT!!!!! one last request, not sure if this has been mentioned....
the bonus legend... the names of the continents are a wee bit hard to read... i think it would look a lot better if a little less glow was applied... at least to the darker Panama and Niearugua.... perhaps a lighter shaded glow?
other than that, i think this is good to go!
